Fatigue behavior of maraging steel 300

The cyclic stress-strain curves, the low cycle and high cycle fatigue lives and the fatigue crack growth rates of annealed (1 h 820°C) and aged (3 h 480°C) maraging steel 300 were determined. Incremental step testing and stable hysteresis loop tip measurements were used to determine the cyclic σ-ε curves. Both annealed and aged maraging steels were found to cyclically soften at room temperature over a plastic strain range from 0.1 to 20 pct. The S-N curves were determined from 10 to 10⁷ cycles to failure by plastic strain controlled low cycle fatigue tests performed in air and load controlled high cycle fatigue tests performed in dry argon. The test results compared very well with the theoretical lifetime predictions derived from Tomkins’ theory. Fatigue crack growth rates were measured in air and dry argon for the annealed and aged alloys. Crack growth rates of annealed maraging steel were found to be equal to those of aged maraging steel at rates between 10^-7 and 10^-5 in./cycle. A significant difference in crack growth rates in the two environments was found at low stress intensity factor ranges, indicating a high susceptibility to corrosion fatigue in the presence of water vapor. The mechanisms of cyclic softening in the two alloys are discussed in terms of dislocations rearrangement in the annealed alloy and dislocation-precipitate interactions in the aged alloy.     

Service Life Predictions for Hot Bulk Forming Tools

Hot bulk forming tools are subject to high thermal and mechanical alternating loads which can induce the formation of fatigue cracks in the highly stressed regions of the tool. It this way, premature tool failure occurs with which increased tool costs are associated. It is therefore vitally important to calculate the tool life output during the process design to improve the efficiency. Thermomechanical fatigue tests using the hot‐working tool steel X38CrMoV5‐3 are carried out as the basis for service life predictions in order to characterise the material behaviour subject to cyclic loading. In the tests, the thermal and mechanical loads operating in the tool steel during a forging process are reproduced. In this way, a strain controlled S‐N curve is determined for a specific temperature interval by varying the applied mechanical load. Thus it is possible to consider the damage mechanisms in the material, which operate during the forming process, for computing the service life. Based on the experimentally determined strain controlled S‐N curve, the computation of a fatigue failure is carried out for a practical example with tool fracture. By comparing the material's experimentally determined load carrying capacity with the loading computed by employing the elastic‐plastic material behaviour, the number of forging cycles is ascertained up to incipient cracking. The simulation model introduced here permits an improved prediction of the fatigue crack formation by integrating the cyclic material behaviour subject to similar conditions found in the forging process.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties relationships in the Ti-11 alloy at room and elevated temperatures

To establish correlations between microstructure and mechanical properties for the Ti-ll alloy, twelve different combinations of hot die forging and heat treatment, in the a + 8 and Β phase regions, were investigated. The resulting heat treated forgings were classified into four distinct categories based on their microstructural appearance. The room temperature tensile, post-creep tensile, fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation properties were measured along with creep and low cycle fatigue at 566‡C. The creep, tensile, fatigue crack propagation and fracture toughness properties, grouped in a manner similar to the microstructural categories. The fracture appearance and behavior of the cracks during propagation in fatigue and in fracture toughness tests were examined, and correlations with the microstructure discussed. In the case of the fully transformed acicular microstructure, it was found that the size and the orientation of colonies of similarly aligned α needles are dominant factors in the crack behavior.

Hydrogen-involved tensile and cyclic deformation behavior of low-alloy pressure vessel steel

The temperature- and strain-rate-dependent tensile behavior of hydrogen-charged low-alloy pressure vessel steel ASTM A508 C1.3 has been investigated. The fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior of the steel in high-temperature water environments has also been evaluated. It was found that hydrogen played significant roles in both tensile and cyclic deformation processes, especially in the temperature and strain-rate region of dynamic strain aging (DSA). The presence of hydrogen resulted in a distinct softening in tensile strength and a certain loss in tensile ductility in the DSA region. Remarkable degradation in fatigue crack initiation and propagation resistance in high-temperature water environments was observed in the DSA strain-rate region. Typical hydrogen-induced cracking features also appeared on the corresponding fatigue fracture surfaces. The interactions between hydrogen and DSA in tensile and cyclic deformation processes are discussed as well as their combined effects on the environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) mechanism of pressure vessel steels in high-temperature water environments.
